The only solution for the moment is to remove the server time off-set from the admin area.

The entire function that calculates the dates and times will need to be re-written to fix this issue so there is no quick fix.

Any update on this problem? It is starting to cause a little confusion with members seeing the wrong date!]]> Tue, 25 Apr 2006 10:34:14 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/calendar-a-day-behind_topic19462_post105479.html#105479 <![CDATA[Calendar - a day behind : There&#039;s no global time-offset...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/calendar-a-day-behind_topic19462_post105196.html#105196 Author: AlexDP

There's no global time-offset in place. The problem is affecting the majority of users, not just me. However when looking at the forums as a guest the date is shown as should be. (I do have -1 hour time offset for admin account.)
 
I agree with wistex that the calendar should not be affected by time offsets, especially as there is no time function in the calendar.

Are you saying calendar dates are subject to a user's time zone settings? Shocked
 
This could become an issue if you are posting, say a Carnival event in Jamaica, and someone in the UK is viewing the entry when its one date in the Americans and another date in the UK due to time zone difference.  If the time and date are adjusted for local time zone for the calendar dates, it could tell the UK person that the Carnival is on a different day than it is, and the UK person buys airline tickets and a hotel room for the wrong days.  A very expensive mistake.
 
I think in most cases, events would need to be displayed on the exact day and time the event is scheduled to be on and there should be no adjustment for time zones.
 
I can't think of any reason why you would want to adjust an event's date based on time zone.  Examples of events:
  • Holidays - occur on specific dates and are not subject to adjustment by time zone (i.e. Christmas is always on Dec. 25th no matter what time zone you are in).
  • Events - are typically tied to a location with a specific date, time and location and are not subject to adjustment by time zone.
  • Birthdays - always occur on the date in question, and are not adjusted by time zone.

The only thing that I can think of that would benefit from a time zone adjustment are perhaps online events, but since you don't specify the time for the events in the calendar, it would get confusing real quick as to when the event actually is.

Have you set any time or date off-sets, either for the user you are logged in as or globally from the forum admin section?]]> Fri, 21 Apr 2006 10:51:54 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/calendar-a-day-behind_topic19462_post105141.html#105141 <![CDATA[Calendar - a day behind : I&#039;ve got a bug in the calendar...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/calendar-a-day-behind_topic19462_post105075.html#105075 Author: AlexDP

I've got a bug in the calendar system. When posting an event it is showing in the calendar on the correct date however when opening the event topic, the date shown with the topic subject is a day behind.

Eg., Northumberland County Agricultural show - Event Date: 28 May 2006
Should read 29 May 2006.
 
I have tried re-submitting the post, editting it, re-uploading the files but nothing seems to sort it.
